Cloud Services: Harnessing the power of cloud technology

In the realm of cloud technology, we’ve harnessed the potential to confront the everyday challenges associated with remote collaboration, secure 3D model storage, and project transparency. Our primary aim is to enable you to focus on design and innovation, rather than grappling with the hassles of rework, lost files, and friction within your design processes.

Introducing Cloud Services

3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Services includes the ability to effortlessly share and annotate your SOLIDWORKS designs with collaborators, a secure repository for storing and accessing your designs, and a structured system for managing design changes.

The best part is that it Cloud Services now comes bundled with new SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD licenses under your subscription, and existing SOLIDWORKS users can access it for a nominal fee.

Why Cloud Services matter to SOLIDWORKS users

The introduction of Cloud Services is a game-changer for SOLIDWORKS users. It’s a holistic solution that eliminates the hassles associated with conventional design sharing and collaboration tools, allowing you to focus on what matters most – design innovation.

Here’s a breakdown of the key features that can be adopted at your own pace, tailored to your team’s unique requirements:

Share and Markup:

Share your 3D designs with anyone, directly from SOLIDWORKS, with no installations or file transfers required. Collaborators can view and provide feedback from any browser, streamlining the collaboration process and accelerating design iterations with real-time input from trusted colleagues.

Store and Revise:

Cloud Services offers a purpose-built online storage hub designed with CAD relationships and collaboration in mind. Your data is efficiently organised, references are well-managed, and custom properties are seamlessly captured. Say goodbye to the chaos of managing references with cryptic file names.

Now you can check out designs to prevent overwrites, and create new revisions right from SOLIDWORKS. Not only that you’ll be able to easily update the status of your designs when they’re “Released.”

Manage and Control:

For users with more complex management needs, Cloud Services provides comprehensive tools for data management, formal change actions, and project task oversight. You can capture required changes, secure approvals, and maintain control over your entire workflow, complete with a historical record of approvals when it’s time to release design changes.

In a world where design efficiency and collaboration are paramount, SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Services offer an innovative path forward. Empower your design process, streamline your workflows, and unleash your creativity, all with the seamless integration of these cutting-edge solutions. Say goodbye to design hassles and embrace a future where design innovation is your primary focus.
